KUSA - In my continued quest to save you as much cash as humanly possible, today a tablet deal that makes this Friday feel more like Black Friday.

Before we get to the deal, I will be on vacation next week and not posting daily savings articles. If you'd like to have the biggest deals in the country emailed to you, subscribe to my deal list right here.

The problem with most of the tablet deals we see these days is they are completely under-equipped. While many tablets in the $150 - $200 range look nice, they are designed for consuming content (watching videos, and browsing the web) rather than producing content.

Today's Toshiba Tablet deal packs enough punch for productivity, work correspondence and the power of Windows to get many common jobs done on the fly.

The Toshiba Encore 2 just dropped to its lowest recorded price and what makes this tablet different is the quad-core processor, generous 64 GB of storage (8 times more than the entry level fire tablet), superb speakers and solid display.

Check out my unboxing of the Toshiba Encore 2 tablet right here alongside a speed demo.

The operating system, front and read cameras, battery life and expandable storage makes this a no-brainer buy at $169. While I would never pay $300+ for this tablet, the under $170 price plunge is very enticing.
